What I appreciate about this article is how it connects the Red Cross Principles to the real pressures we’re facing today like conflicts, climate, digital disruption, and politicization. The article is grounded in history but speaks directly to the present. I do wish it included more specific examples to show how these challenges play out. Still, what makes it stand out is its tone: it’s both reflective and a call to protect the humanitarian space before it’s eroded beyond repair.
It’s a supersonic celebration to uphold these principles for the betterment of the world. Long live ICRC
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ Galatians 5:13(NIV) Good morning all from the Hoosier state (IN/USA). Oh do I miss the month of May. Grace & peace be with us all. Living in today’s world, we as human beings are more versed in complexities, yet we DO know right from wrong. Learning that the Spirit from God will always teach us how to love, how we are to live in love, & how we must demonstrate love wholly. It’s through adversity in how we react in compassion through empathy to know the good, will always win over acts of evil. Bridging the gaps between past, present, & future takes a unique approach to understanding & learning for ourselves, for all to gain perspective. Life is a gift in our present. Choices are also a gift from God. What we do with our choices define who we are as human beings. Love love love how Swiss Jean-Henri Dunant walked in the Spirit as his legacy is preserved to move forward in 2025. The growth has surpassed Dunant’s initial profound impact to act. Question: When displacement is a known, are ppl/kids mostly given opportunities to still learn basic life skills? Ex: Seeds to grow food? Harvested to take IF it becomes a vital necessity? Perhaps in various stages to grow & take? Thank you for what you ALL do❣️
They keep us focused and determined!

2dThis is a powerful and well-structured summary. It effectively sets the stage by honoring the 60-year legacy of the Fundamental Principles, then masterfully pivots to the acute pressures they face in today's world. The transition from historical context to current challenges (conflict, politicization, digitalization) is seamless and compelling. The text successfully frames Pierre Krähenbühl's central argument: that the Principles are active, "living commitments" rather than passive ideals. This is a strong and persuasive hook. The call to action—"the Principles will only remain vital if we choose to live them"—provides a resonant and inspiring conclusion.
